Imagine a stereotypical fair master with bad intentions and a lust for profits lurking and scheming along the perimeter of the fairgrounds in late Summer, the masses of people straining to gain admittance coagulate in an artery clogging siege at the lone entrance to an escape from reality.
The promise of Elephant ears, Ferris wheels, roller coasters, can’t deter the will of the populace for recreation.
The traffic jam of families and individuals hoping for a respite from the rigors of life attempting to enjoy a day at the fair stuck in a human traffic jam sprinkled with a tonic of frustration, anticipation and nervousness may never see their traditional sedan again in the chaos of poor excuse for a parking lot.
Metaphorically, while the interminable wait continues with the onset of withdrawals from instant gratification persists, at this point and vortex in time, the fair master with the savagery of a Great White shark dispatches a salvo of data missiles in the form of propaganda, and the hope that investments made by the big tech world will pay off. The dedicated gesture will at least aim to cover the yearly bill of occupancy among a municipality and the pratfalls of modernity and the Information Age.
As humanity has been submerged under the tidal bore of buzzwords, keywords, and inuendo, the heavily accented apps populating the screens of smart devices only convolutes a universal misunderstanding between big tech and society.
Flavor of the month viral terms are continuously deployed and evolve into approximations that attempt to describe concepts that are complex, yet relevant.
AI. Data centers. Server Space. Beyond reason.
The aforementioned buzz words are terminology possibly designed to create a popular culture industrial grade confusion among Americans and those in developed nations on a global scale. On a political note, parties on both sides of the spectrum practice a similar methodology that borders on coercion.
The issue is not with the language, but with the motives behind the terms and the overt simplification resulting in slang which forwards an agenda and in a sense is reverse propaganda.
As the definition of words continues to be recalibrated, within this volatile period of history, the future is vulnerable to corruption at the whim of corrosive editing and related misconceptions spawned by perception instead of empirical evidence and fact.
The Information Age emerges at a significant cost as the vacant Ferris wheel rusts.
